Turns out the owner of the firework stand was an old Army buddy of my husband's - they spent time together in the first Gulf War. When they recognized one another, the other guy said, "Hey! I owe you $100! Remember when I borrowed money to get home?" This was clear back in the early 1990's. What are the chances of running into someone again in such a big town as this? Guess pretty darn good.
The long overdue (and long forgotten) debt is now paid - in $100 worth of fireworks.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Geez, that's quite a coincidence. Too bad the guy didn't own a bookstore and repay the loan in books.
ReplyDeleteFireworks are illegal here. You can go to a professional fireworks show but we do not have fireworks stands anymore.
Have fun and be safe! Fireworks scare the crap outta me. They weren't legal where I grew up. When we moved here, they WERE legal, and I witnessed several close calls with both people and houses. Now they've been outlawed, and I'm happy. :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the fireworks! I'm too much of a sissy to buy them and light them myself. I like having the firefighters do it in the park.
